Bobby Mills
Bobby Mills is a designer and craftsperson with a strong connection to the ancient trees of the British landscape. Bobby works exclusively with locally-grown timber, often sourcing windblown trees whose natural life cycle has already ended. Increasingly acquiring whole trees rather than pre-milled boards, Bobby engages with each tree in its entirety, responding carefully to its proportions, grain and natural edge. Influenced by the Sussex countryside and traditional building methods learned from his father, Bobby creates exceptional sculptural furniture using traditional joinery techniques, including mortise and tenon joints and hand-cut butterfly keys.
